Things gonna hit it's goal by tomorrow morning probably. So the 4th goal will be in sight soon. Seriously if they unlock the 4th goal and still nearly 40 days left for this campaign, they are gonna have to add some more goals at this point, can't see them just saying "that's a wrap" with so much time and sales potential left.
As Panzer you mentioned you had a tank for classified already earlier in the thread. Do you have a link for that tank?

If anything, their track-record would suggest that the next Haslab might be something that's even bigger (think Sentinel-to-Galactus) or increases the complexity, but that pulls from elsewhere in the Joeverse.

I wouldn't expect anything else till around or after SDCC. THis will be the first fully funded Haslab that they've been able to show off at a convention. I'm sure they'll get some buyers there as well.

Thinking about this question a bit more, has Hasbro ever done a Haslab that builds off of a previous one in even a tangential way? If not, why are we all convinced that their next Haslab effort for Classified (or o-ring) will be a sequel/follow-up like a Joe vehicle of similar size (or an o-ring Rattler)?

HasLabs have gotten extra "tiers" before but usually no more than one or two, tops. Basically, don't get your hopes up that there's a bunch more stuff waiting in the wings. I would NOT be surprised to see one, at most two more "extras" beyond Tier 4 that may or may not be kind of underwhelming (I could easily forsee a "25K" goal or something like that), but runaway success or not they're not going to endanger the profits on the project just for the sake of adding more stuff "since there's so much time." It'd have to be driven by overall sales, and probably most importantly getting to a number where it'll cost them less to get the thing produced in whatever factory will be making them (and then that savings can be turned around to offer more). Basically, based on comments Hasbro employees have made around other Haslabs, the initial tiers are set before the campaign begins, and rarely change, but trying to add anything during the campaign becomes a negotiation between the designers (who often really do want to give us cool stuff) and the folks calculating the profit margins (who often don't care one bit about beyond keeping us buying so the shareholders are happy).

I mean, they absolutely can. They unquestionably have limits on how much they can offer before the bean counters above them tell them the profit margin is too thin. And it's not like not having more stretch goals is suddenly going to cause a complete cessation of sales.

But I bet they had a trick up their sleeves if sales were bad. Cobra Hack and Rancor Keeper are two examples of totally out-of-the-blue extras. One succeeded, one failed. But I'd be surprised if all Haslabs going forward didn't have extras budgeted. It would be a nice gesture to enact such a thing after all announced tiers succeed |

A Terror Drome with FireBats would fit the bill. Something big, something that is a threat to & is threatened by a Skystriker. Have a core launch silo with wedge shaped modules that can wrap around the silo or open up. For size comparison, have a wedge that?s a vehicle bay, that operates like the VAMP bay on the HQ Command Center. A stretch goal could be an extra silo & Firebat.
